Pair of Sven Palmqvist vases??? ID

(1/3) > >>

shugdens:
Found this pair in a charity shop today, I thought Orrefors & Sven Palmqvist at once. Both have a ground rim.
I got these two & what I think is a 'Bimi' flower vase for a steal because all three have a chip each, the tall one has a rim chip & the small one a base chip.

Sorry about the photo quality I was at my mothers & used my phone while it was still light.

The fact that they were not signed would make me wonder. They don't strike me as being very much like Orrefors or Sven Palmqvist. Perhaps it's the colours (are they really that shade of blue and green in the photograph?) that's putting me off. I'd be interested to hear why you think Orrefors.

Well i've had 2 kraka vases unsigned. The photo dont do them justice. There heavy & cased. Theres age to them, the rims are ground.

I think I may give up on glass & just go back to rough atribution. I cant get anything right on here & the huge quantity i deal with makes it difficult.

You can't give up on glass!

But perhaps you might be better off giving up on chipped or damaged bits - I think they only sell well-ish, if they're very scarce and/or very, very old.
A very, very good way to learn is to go to one of the big fairs and handle the pieces and chat to other glassy folk.
There is no substitute for actually holding and feeling it, and looking at it from all different angles.
Not only that, but you'll get to meet a load of us...... or is that what's making you think about quitting?

In general, reccession aside, glass has yet to find it's proper place in the art world, but it's well on its way and it's getting there, slowly, but surely. As a dealer, you can't afford to ignore it, you just need to learn more about it.

I do fairs, Newark Swinderby & have a stall at a weekly antiques market, I've been full time since 2005. To be honest at one place I buyother dealers  ask & come to me as an authority on glass. I'm nowhere in your league but i'm doing something right. :24:

These vases are hevy, old quality pieces. theres a lot of work in them. if there not orrifors there something similar.

i'm gona clean them up & sell them on my stall as an unknown scandinavian. I'll get £30 for them, maybe I should wait for a proper Id because I think these are a very good vases from a top maker. Just the work on the rims alone shows this.
I'm meating up with a member of this group in the next week or so so I'll take them with me.

I've had a bad week, I may have to Ebay some of my better pieces. :(
